Why Argue?

I have found it difficult to hold conversations with some of my Protestant friends who desparately want me not to convert to Catholicism. They continue to want to argue their points but have no place to listen to my own. So I choose not to argue anymore. I just tell them "my 2000 years trumps your 500 years. You (Protestants) decided to leave in 1517. The church did not leave you. I just came back home. You can do the same."

    Steven, you are wise beyond your years!

    I will e-mail you with the information I wanted to share with you at Mass. We were in back of you. I saw you and your children in front of Barbara. That is wonderful that they want to come with you!

    So..Bluegrass...I'm still not a fan, but Barbara has such wisdom and insight about it, I'm trying.

    Did you sign up for the Parrish Family night? You can come early before RCIA...
    Blessings,
    Teri

    Praying for you on your journey home to Rome. You are correct - you do not need to argue - it is "management's" job to convert hearts.
